10:00 am
we will post all the stories on our show web page at poxnews.com. that's a wrap for me here in d.c. thanks for joining us here in washington. make it a great day and a great weekend. we are tracking a developing situation out of egypt as anti-government protests spread across the country. we are now 24 hours away from the start of a massive demonstration against president mohammed morsi. plans to mark one year since he first took office. and we already have seen violent protests explode across the country. and the last few days like this one that you'ring in alexandria which took place yesterday. president obama saying that the u.s. is monitoring the situation and working to protect our embassy. warning against all nonessential travel to egypt. we are also learning new details about the american killed during one of the protests. we will bring the new development just ahead.
10:01 am
there's also new trouble was the irs. house republicans now paving the way to force top irs officials lois lerner to answer questions about the political targeting scandal rocking the agency. hello, everyone. welcome to brand-new hour. >> good to see you. let's get straight to it. she has been clinging to fifth amendment right to stay silent. remember that? now she could very easily be called back to the capitol hill and have to testify any time. the house oversight and reform committee perform ad resolution that declared lerner waived that fifth amendment at a hearing last month. she delivered a statement proclaiming her innocence. republican lawmakers calling her out. >> yes, she has a fifth amendment right to remain silent. she sat there and could have said nothing. we had a witness this week who did that.
10:02 am
we had a witness this week who said nothing. she didn't. she made nine separate factual assertions and then she authenticated a document. if that is not waiver, if that is not express waiver, this is implied waiver. if it is not, then what is? >> hi, molly. >> hi. lois lerner's attorney, william taylor is pushing back. saying that the house oversight committee is highly polarized forum and that the votes fell along party lines. >> taylor said in a statement, quote, she did not give up her right to -- talking about lois lerner to refuse to testify by stating her innocence. she had requested that she not be required to appear at all and was forced against her will to invoke her right in public. when she was forced to do that, she was entitled to say what she said. lerner came before the house oversight committee may 22 to
10:03 am
explain what she knew and when about the irs targeting conservative groups. she spoke for two minutes, 40 seconds. at the end of that invoking her fifth amendment rights. but not taking any questions from lawmakers. and that infuriated republicans who spoke after the vote yesterday. >> lois lerner is, in fact, a poster child for thumbing her nose at practical bureaucrats, thumbing her most, at congress. >> not so, say democrats. who insist that lerner had every right to do what she did. >> this is first and foremost lois lerner, an american citizen, invoking one of the most sacred privileges enshrined in her bill of rights. fifth amendment right to protect herself. >> republicans say that they still want lois lerner to answer their questions. but so far there have not been an official request for lerner to appear again before the
10:04 am
committee. >> molly, thank you. for more on this let's bring in our political panel right now. . we thank you for joining thus afternoon. vote was strictly along party lines. 22 republicans voted in favor and 17 democrats against it. democrat congressman jairy connelly calling the attempts to block in the fifth amendment, an egregious power that tramples the constitution and serves no ballot legislative purpose. what do you say? >> the republicans are not guilty of overreach here at all. it was president obama who said that this administration would be about truth, transparency. lerner should go back before the committee and tell the truth. the truth cuts to the ground will rise again and lie will never stand. it will come out one way or the
10:05 am
other. what happened with irs in targeting conservative groups. >> mark, let me ask you this. republican daryl issa, chairman of the committee, argues that lerner, quote, wavered the fifth amendment privileges when she delivered an opening statement and republicans believe that lerner, who is -- on paid administration i have leave now and -- thumbing her nose at congress, according to one member of congress, what do you say is she thumbing her nose at congress? >> look, i don't think she is thumbing her nose at congress. if she were to be thumbing her nose, congress was asking for it and have conducted themselves especially the house congressional. the reform committee here, it is not clear what issa is hoping to accomplish by bringing her back if that's -- >> if i could interject. i think that what they are trying to do is get to the bottom of what happened with the irs. and aren't the american people entitled to that? >> the american people are entitled to the house committee here sent titled to do its very best in the investigation.
10:06 am
lerner is entitled to fifth amendment protection and for them to strip that away we are accustomed to congress, for example, voting and enacting legislation along the party lines. but this is an interpretation of the most sacred document, constitution of the united states. when you have that perception of reality so skewed and basically buy purchase indicated by the right and left, then a real problem. it is also -- want to make this real quick point. unclear to me what issa is hoping to accomplish here. so far the two main accusations he launched against the obama administration this was politically motivated and it exclusively targeted conservatives, proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be false and misleading. attempt to redeem himself and the work of that committee. >> how has it proven -- bottom line is this. you had official dashs. >> through investigations from criminal investigations by the fbi. >> you have -- excuse me. you have -- >> let me get in here. mark, to your point, what should
10:07 am
the next step be in this congressional scrutiny of the irs particularly since acting irs chief danny wuerffel revealed the irs targets conservatives and liberal groups but it was also revealed that conservative groups were -- substantially more scrutinized than those progressive liberal groups? >> go ahead, mark. go ahead. >> i think that -- the answer to that question absolutely. there should be accountability and people should be held accountable. lois lerner has no friends on the left because as you mentioned progressives were also targeted. >> where is the proof when you have -- >> progressive things targeted and 100% of tea party and conservatives -- >> mark, yes, you had -- you had a turn. bottom line is this. the only way that we can find out the truth is -- having true transparency and that's the reason why we have hearings. and also, when -- the fbi -- went before the committee and was questioned about the fbi investigation, he didn't even
10:08 am
know who was investigating the irs. he didn't even know the agents who were investigating the irs. what we immediate to find out here is that if this administration is truly transparent, was the irs used as a political machine to go after the president's phone call? number one. were organizations targeted? if they weren't go before the committee and tell the truth. >> bottom line is that we have to get to the bottom line. >> absolutely. i don't think any -- i think angela and can agree completely on that. americans have to have confidence in that institution which has so much control over our pocketbooks. the president shares the outrage of the americans and i think that at the end of the day between the reinvestigations that are ongoing including the congressional investigation we will get the accountability here but it is -- it is a -- i think that issa made the accusations before having the full facts. >> blame, blame, blame. >> we have to go. stay tuned. more coming with this irs scandal. thank you both. >> thank you. >> thanks.
10:09 am
new setback to tell you about the health care law as a national football league shoots down a request by the administration to help promote that law. live in washington with details. elizabeth, great to see you. >> you as well. the nfl is among a number of athletic groups asked by the administration to promote and advertise the affordable care act for the organization that says not at their stadium. in a written response published by "the washington post" and nfl spokesman rice we currently have no plans to engage in this area and have no substantive contracts with the administration about the health care's laws implementation. health and human service secretary kathleen sebelius says that venues are an obvious place for the practical government to target young men to sign up for coverage. millions of americans will need to begin enroll thing fall. in the weekly republican address, senator roberts took the opportunity to note the fact that approaching deadline and criticizing the administration's attempt to promote what he says
10:10 am
is a massive practical government takeover. >> young healthy people find the exchanges so costly and objectionable that the administration is drafting the nba and nfl to ditch obama care. >> good grief. folks, it wasn't supposed to be this way. before obama care was forced through congress and misguided takeover of federal health care we had a rare opportunity to create real change. >> mlb nor the nhl have not released a decision about a possible partnership. >> thanks so much. fox news alert. 24 hours from anti-government demonstrations in egypt, plan to mark one year since president mohammed morsi took office. this follows days of protests around the country. president obama saying that the u.s. is monitoring the situation and is working to protect our

along with you we have been closely watching the george zimmerman trial. before we bring you some legal analysis, you haven't heard, let's get you up to speed on what happened so far this week. had the opening statements. that started on monday.
10:29 am
and the prosecution argued zimmerman profiled and then murdered ray vonn martin. zimmerman's lawyer claims self-defense and was slammed later for a knock-knock joke he made in opening arguments. would lawyers argued over the admissibility of police calls that zimmerman made months before the shooting. the calls were admitted. and a police official who worked with zimmerman to establish a neighborhood watch program also testified. day three, we heard the woman who called 911 for help that night. and the dramatic testimony from the state's star witness. the young woman who was on the phone with trayvon martin right before the shooting. she said martin appeared to be scared and said he was being followed. day four, the same friend, rachel, returned to the witness stand and very different demeanor. challenged by the defense about inconsistencies in her testimony. and yesterday we heard from a neighbor who probably had the best view of the struggle
10:30 am
between the two men. let's bring in former federal prosecutor doug burns. doug, quite a first week in any case. this one in particular. i want to start by playing a sou soundbite of trayvon martin's friend who said she heard him say certain things that she's only really telling us now. listen. >> i heard trayvon saying get off, get off. >> a letter on march 19. at month time did you mention that you heard ray votrayvon ma say get off, get off, get off. correct? is that yes, did you not say that? >> yes. >> lot of people say she mumbles. i don't know if that's an intentional strategy but what she said is -- for the first time, she's telling not in to the incident but much later get
10:31 am
off, get off is what she said. she didn't put tonight a letter, she didn't tell to it investigators or trayvon martin's mother. at that point is should the defense attorney have sat down? >> i would think so. a lot of times cross-examinat n cross-examinations go on a little too long. you are in a quandary with the defense. want to make it appear as though you are going through a lot poychts and scoring a lot of points. of course, the client wants, you know, proverbial perry mason in there fighting for them. less is more so often. you are right. as a general matter she was not good for the prosecutor as i thought she would be. at the same time we shouldn't be sports announcers jumping on one play during a game and saying oh, that's the shot of the outcome. a trial is very much a series of miniature -- it is -- roller coaster and series of no sooner does one team make a good play the other team comes back with a good play. >> i guess will's a certain issue of pretrial publicity saying a certain witness is a key or star witness. because in the end when they get on the stand the expectations are high.
10:32 am
here for the prosecutor and in the end the defense, do you think, did an effective job of attacker her credibility? >> first let me go to your first point which is outstanding which is they are like -- this woman is the whole prosecution and so forth. that buildup civil-advised. that is separate from the lawyers in the case. more of a media thing. as far as breaking down she had apparently lied about attending trayvon martin's funeral. she said she was in the hospital and she was not. that factors into how much you believe her. in on many levels she is a neutralized entity. she did help the prosecution a out she was heard on cross-examination. she is neutralize. >> they moved on from that. they brought in witnesses now including law enforcement who were there right after the incident happened and including witnesses who say that they saw exactly what happened. listen to this sound.
10:33 am
>> this is depicting them as i was stating earlier the one in the black top on top and the one in red and white on the bottom. then it moves to the sidewalk. laying this way. still the person with the black shirt on top and red shirt on bottom. >> okay. is this now where they are in the straddled position with trayvon martin on top? >> yes. >> here's when it looked to you like george was trying to get up, george zimmerman, was trying to get up? >> yes. >> how is he doing that? >> the person on top, i didn't think he would want to stay on the ground. >> and he said this guy was beating me up and i -- >> i was defending myself as i shot him. >> as you were talking words the
10:34 am
car didn't he fire something to you voluntarily? >> yes, sir. >> what did he say? >> he said to me heave yelling for help and that nobody would come help him. >> did you observe any injuries to the defendant? >> yes. >> what injuries did you observe? >> he had a very swollen, bleeding nose. lacerations to the back of his head. >> well, i have a couple of questions on this one. but the most compelling pictures tell a thousand words. you have a description of someone that says clearly trayvon martin was on top to him. beating up george zimmerman and have you the jr.ies. the first witness says i didn't think he would want to be beaten or on the bottom. i think testimony. >> your observation is one of the more for ones i heard. i think the testimony is going to cancel itself out. and the jurors are going to default back to the photographs which show a broken nose,
10:35 am
bloodied lip, lacerations to the back of the head. when you break this case down, it is so interesting. you have two -- metaphor, painting two different canvasses. the prosecutors come in and every brush stroke is this was fist fight. that's it. you can't pull out a gun until somebody -- if you are losing a fistfight. the defense gets up and says a number of things. little more sophisticated breakdown. number one, not only was it not a fistfight, there are serious lacerations to the back of the head. his head may have been smashed to the concrete. by the way if that's not definitively proven wane or another, left out there as a tie, tie goes to the defendant. okay. and that's the picture they are trying to pain. here comes the really for stuff, real quick. which is wait a minute. at that point you weren't injured to the point where you were entitled to shoot him but a hypothetical, what if you didn't and his head was smashed ten more times and he dies? >> trying to establish the defense that he used just -- enreasonable lethal force. on the other hand the third
10:36 am
witness, not the -- emt worker but the other gentleman, civilian witness, says he -- he said to me that he was defending himself. he said is more compelling than "i think." >> what is interest being that -- let's break that down a second. here's -- a non-lawyer. that's relevant. speaking a legal conclusion. i was defending my self. wait a minute. he is not entitled to judge whether that that's true or not. i agree with you. >> said not for the matter purported. >> not for the truth of the matter. yeah. >> 101. >> exactly. point i want to make, too, that's for is that -- people are looking objectively whether he would have died. that's not the test. we said this many times. did he reasonably believe if his mind and by the way, when the defense throws self-defense in, we discussed this, the prosecutor has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it wasn't self-defense. that's going to be very, very
10:37 am
hard. >> burden of proof will shift to the fireworks prove it wasn't. great analysis. we really -- learned so much together. and hope you have, too, about this case. it is unique in so many ways and it is -- not over yet. that's just the first week. i want to remind everybody that start thing monday and tuesday, inside the courtroom of the zpoyp zimmerman trial with greta van susteren. you will only see that here on fox news channel and we will be back as well. >> that will be great. >> more problems for paula deen. uproar grows over her admitted use of racial slurs. the cooking star losing another major business deal. some fans are now rallying to her side. plus, president obama saying that he should not have to get personally involved in efforts to capture nsa leaker edward snowden. is this the right response to a man that caused a threat to this country?

this is something that routinely is dealt with between law enforcement officials and various countries. and -- this is not exceptional from a legal perspective. no, i'm not going to be scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker. >> that was president obama this week after reporters challenged him over whether or not he's getting personally involved in the efforts to capture edward snowden. self-proclaimed nsa leaker who has been called a threat to our nation. the former nsa contractor now says to be hiding out in an airport in moscow. marvin, award winning reporter, former moderator from "meet the press" and now a fox news contributor and joins us this afternoon to shed some in personal insight into this. i have to ask you, thanks for joining us as always, is edward snowden becoming -- too much of a problem for russia?
10:44 am
>> i think he is. i think that he's in a very real way. at the very beginning, putin, president putin, made a statement which was kind of a thumb in the nose at the united states. he was getting a kind of kick, i should say, out of somehow humiliating the united states because he had snowden at the airport and we didn't. >> turn that around and that would -- four, five days later, and there's still no way out either for the russians or the americans. ecuadorians, country to which snowden apparently wanted to go, they are now pulling back a bit. the president of ecuador said yesterday that she -- well, maybe another couple of months before we begin to look at this. so all of the nations right now are stuck with the problem of what do you do with snowden? how do you get him? how do you control what it is that he has to say? i think that snowden started something for which there is no
10:45 am
immediate answer. in the case of putin, it is one of those situations be careful what you ask for. just might get it. >> exactly. >> what is the snowden arevealing about the united states' relationship with russia and china and ecuador and what should the u.s. do now in response to the two main countries, the -- russia and china? >> well, what the u.s. is obviously doing is to -- supplying all kinds of pressure quietly on both china and russia but now much more russia to try to do something to really get rid of snowden and return him to the united states russians at this point are stuck as well as the u.s. and as well as china. there are certain rules when you are traveling from one country to another, you have to have proper papers. you have to know where it is th you are going. you have to have a ticket. snowden apparently had none of these. at this point he's simply
